A Doctor of Chiropractic is registered with a licensing body. They are a regulated profession.
Chiropractors have long been thought of as someone who ‘cracks’ your spine; which is known as ‘adjustments’.
There is so much more to Chiropratic than adjustments.
An experienced chiropractor does a full bio-mechanical and neurological assessment because your nervous system is connected to your muscles, ligaments and joints.
Your posture and alignment of all parts of your body is assessed.
Soft tissue manipulation is part of chiropractic care. This technique stretches muscles that are in spasm or tight and constricted.
It is also used on ligaments and tendons.
Dry needling is used to release tension and spasm. It is very effective. Medical cupping is used to treat adhesions and for fascial release. Adhesions form when you injure muscles. Think of it like scar tissue. Fascia is the lining over the muscle. It can have adhesions or get ‘tight’. Releasing this helps the muscle pain be relieved more effectively.
